He is getting along nicely in other respects, and no permanent ill effects of the shock are anticipated. —Bluffton News.

Miss Glenys Mangold went to Rome City this morning where she will be the guest of the Misses Leah and Veda Hensley. A mighty tine change in the weather if any one asks you and it came just in time to save a good many fellows from wilting. The trees and posts and buildings about the Chicago & Erie railroad are being painted white, helping the appearance of that section. Mr. and Mrs. S. M.

Heller and children will leave Thursday morning for Rome City where they will enjoy a three weeks* outing. Harry Ward of the Ward Fence Company who came home Saturday night to look after business matters left this morning for Alanson, Michigan, where the family is spending the summer. Time’s up! And when the referee said that the contest between the Noble township rat killing club and the rats themselves came to a sudden stop- witli the c}ub getting the decision on points performance, knockcut and a little of everything in the nature of victory. The members killed 4303 rats. —Portland Sun. , The rasping cry of the katydid has been heard and frost is due in six weeks, according to an old saying which seldom if ever conies true. The katydids arrive at about the same time every season, but everybody knows that frosts do not arrive at any stated period, and this year they are not wanted before the first of October or later, and that is more than six weeks away. A lot of corn will have to have a late season if it ever ripens. The hoodoo is still following Geo. Muninia, Decatur pian, who is drilling for water at the city plant, and jgst when he figured on completing his job on the big well, the machinery broke, which will caqse a delay probably until Tuesday. It was necessary to ship parts of the machinery to Decatur for repairs. Mr. Mumma had expected to .complete bis job last evening and the break occurred earlier in the day. He thinks that he will get plenty of water in the big well.—B|pffton Banner. Bearing the external appearance of an ordinary gasoline car, a gas-elec-trie automobile, which is driven by electricity generated by its own power plan, has lately been patented. The currrent is developed with a 10-hp engine and a 5-kw. dynamo which propel tiie motor. When the machine is pot running at its maximum speed, which averages between 35 and 30 miles an hour, the surplus power is diverted to the storage batteries, which will drive the car miles without recharging. Between 20 and 30 miles can be covered on one gallon of gasoline. A picture of the machine appears in tiie August Popular Mechanics Magasine. There is probably no one tiling that < an cause as much discomfort, for its size, as a particle of dust or sand in tiie eye; and unless it is promptly removed it may lead to inflammation of the eyeball. Tiie first attempt at removal will be to pull the upper lid over the lower and hold it so for a few seconds. Then rub gently toward the nose. If this fails to dislodge the irritalng substance, examine the under surface of both lids, as well as tjie eyeball, to discover the offender. When found, wipe it gently away with a bit of sterile cotton wrapped around a match stick. Flush the eye with boric acid solution. —August ingThe Clover Leaf had a small freight wreck near tiie King piano factory Friday afternoon when the first section of No. 44, an east bound freight, hacked into the engine of the second section. Both trains were on the passing track and the second section had orders to go around the first section. The crew of the first section supposed that the section was backing out of the switch onto the main line and started to the south end of the switch, with tiie result that they jammed their caboose ino the engine of the second section. No one was hurt and the caboose was the only car damaged. A couple of trainmen made hasty and undignified escape from tiie splintered caboose but both escaped without a scratch.—Bluffton News. Tiie “country jake" of yesterday owns a farm today of several hundred acres, lives in a palatial home witli all modern conveniences such as steam heat, bathroom, improved lighting system, telephone, automobile, i etc. His mail is delivered to his ; door every day. He reads the daily ; newspaper, the magazines and the best books adorn bis library. Surely lie doesn’t converse on current events as ■ though he was a “country jake” —not by a good deal. And to see him running an automombile on Sunday with his family as passengers he doesn't appear like a “country jake” nor does any member of his family. Tiie rising generation of farmers’ sons and daughters are farther removed from being 1 called “ country jakes" than were their fathers and mothers years ago. We say times change. And time does i change. It changes the farm as well i as the city. Evolution works miracles I on the farm as well as in the city. 1 Evansville Courier. 1

It will be a big week for the program this year is even better than last year when we all thought it was about as good as it could be made. Mr. and Mrs. B. F.

Mr. Webster who was forced to sell his interests in the Adams County Creaiqery because of ill health is feeling much better. It is believed a year of rest will completely restore his health. As a result of a mis-step last week and which caused a badly sprained ankle, Earl Adams has been confined to his home for the past several days. He was able however to be town town today for a short time but was compelled to move around by tiie aid of crutches. The accident was at first thought to be of no serious nature, but latter tiie injury became so painful that It was necessary for Mr. Adams to keep off his feet for several days. An aerial passenger cableway Is soon to be built across the whirlpool at Niagara Falls to enable visitors to get a close view of that marvel of nature and to experience the thrills connected with such a view without incurring gny danger. The system, which is describ'd witli illustrations in the August Popular Mechanics Magazine, Is similar to one recently installed nt San Sebastian. Spain, for spanning a chasm between mountain resorts, and to the one that climbs the first stage of the Wetterhorn in Switzerland. The pool is situated in Can adian territory'about six miles below Niagara Falls. The cableway is to be about 1.770 ft. long, with the cables stretched at an elevation of about 250 ft. above the whirlpool. The car. which has already been built in Spain, has a capacity of 50 passengers.
